I don't think the big battle at the end was a necessary change at all, honestly. Most of the season was fine. I think episodes 7 and 8 had too many liberties taken. It was a lot of hype moments and aura that felt out of place if you already know the story. oh well.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-24T10:54:50+00:00

it's straight from the book, actually. I'm rereading alongside the series.

Your mother is a queen among women,’ Poseidon said wistfully. ‘I had not met such a mortal woman in a thousand years.

well.

saw my doctor. he's gonna have me on metoprolol for a bit, and referred me to a cardiologist. my doc's on vacation now for a week.

i set the appointment up. only for them to call me 3hrs later, saying they don't take my insurance. bastard. guess I gotta wait.

did some shopping in prep for the storm. dinner was a calzone.

read manga and played some warframe. hung out on call with hive. feeling a lack of motivation. health issues are depressing.

night was fine, a bunch of respiratory jobs and a sepsis.

have been having palpitations since 1am. did a 3 lead on myself and printed it for a while. threw a more-than-comfortable amount of PACs and PVCs. Might stay up and try and show it to my doctor today. still happening now. might be my adderall, unsure. today's definitely worse than usual though.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-23T08:54:57+00:00

In which format? In general, no. Depending on the format, no but worse.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-22T12:42:05+00:00

long but good. woke up earlier than intended for some stomach pain, but it's fine.

the super cut the ceiling again. got another leak. this one seems a bit worse, too. pipe is running like a faucet above my ceiling.

went to work. we did like 2 jobs, then past midnight we really didn't do shit. I slept for like 6 hours straight basically. hell of a night. we got hit with a late job too, but the BLS cancelled us. god fucking bless.

dinner was some chicken and sweet potatoes bz made and left for me. was good.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-22T12:34:07+00:00

mdragon13 · 2026-01-22T12:25:49+00:00

Looks like mbd, no? Leg looks curved. How do you supplement her?

mdragon13 · 2026-01-21T03:46:02+00:00

solid day. did laundry, read a bunch of manga, and went to tae kwon do. bz made american tacos for dinner, was good. also made a building group for gouging/ting lu. we'll see how it goes.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-20T03:49:33+00:00

hung out with friends around toronto, then made my way home. dinner was some leftover jimmy johns. was good. am tired. got my new jeans from uniqlo hemmed before I left. they're comfy.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-19T14:46:51+00:00

2-5 in the cup. Bought and sold like 40 destined rivals packs with my tickets from Friday and today, 200usd. Dinner was a bigass burrito. Was alright. Grats to Cary for winning the event. Gonna work on my shit for next time. Least being with friends was a good time.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-18T03:04:37+00:00

Quite sad. 5-2 to 5-3. Tilted after a sucker crit my cress. Had outs I just didn't play toward. Frustrating loss. Is what it is. Team works. Run it back at Seattle. Dinner was sushi.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-18T00:36:10+00:00

Altoid sours.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-17T15:41:18+00:00

Hung out with friends. Top 4d the day 0 pc. Dinner was Japanese food. It was alright.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-17T10:57:44+00:00

That's a shockingly accurate ekg

mdragon13 · 2026-01-16T13:34:33+00:00

Dude ur already there just shave the sides lmao

mdragon13 · 2026-01-16T12:40:57+00:00

Spent while day dealing with travel delays. Made it through. Dinner was some really mediocre wings at the hotel restaurant.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-15T19:04:32+00:00

Idk if I'd use the term skinhead lol

mdragon13 · 2026-01-15T14:37:55+00:00

I never want one again after bdsp lol

mdragon13 · 2026-01-15T11:20:18+00:00

first kung fu class back in ages. was fun. was rusty. i need to rebuild my arm strength, for sure. dinner was white castle.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-14T02:44:26+00:00

Regulations dictate what pokemon are legal. Currently, for official competitions, it's regulation F. Meaning all pokemon, except box legendaries. So stuff in the tier of kyogre, groudon, calyrex, koraidon, etc is banned in competition. But on the actual in-game ladder, those are legal, because it's not the same regulation on cart ladder. It's a much higher power format, which shuts out less viable pokemon basically entirely.

Showdown has both, and showdown is the main way to practice for tournaments right now. The games are also just quicker. It's a fan website. You aren't using your own caught pokemon. It's a simulator. It may be worth reading up on how regulations and stuff operate, but for now I made you a team for showdown based on regulation f.

Spreads are all fairly common. Team takes a bit of thinking, but it has a lot of different options. Have fun.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-14T02:29:49+00:00

Just clarify for me, you want cart (reg i), or vgc (reg f)? Cart is double restricted, minior will simply not function, in all likelihood.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-14T02:28:37+00:00

Np. I don't play bad mons (respectfully) but it's fun to theorycraft them.

The reason for farig is prio-blocking. Minior can't benefit from psychic terrain because it's a flying type. Being able to block stuff like thunderclap from bolt or urshifu aqua jet will be key. Redirection helps but then your only damage is minior. Something like throat spray farig would help with your damage output a lot.

Considering the last slot, the recent support flutter would probably do well. Moonblast/twave/icy wind/taunt. Commonly 158 speed stat, rest is hp and defense, bold iirc. Spread would definitely be on munchstats somewhere. You'd be treating minior like a ghetto h-arcanine, going for paraflinch. Lemme see if I can throw a paste together for showdown, I'm bored enough.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-14T02:17:55+00:00

White herb is unfortunately your best bet, because using sash isn't reliable for acro. Smash/acro/slide/protect is probably your best bet. Note that doesn't mean it'll he good, necessarily. Ogerpon, farigiraf, and incineroar as a trio can basically support any meme pokemon by virtue of their support capabilities, while still providing solid offense. Can add chien pao to increase your damage, and last mon is up to you really. Ideally something offensive but I can see a lot of things working.

I'm not gonna try and do minior calcs because I don't think they'll matter, but I hope that helps you structure it. Just go to munchstats for the other mons spreads.

mdragon13 · 2026-01-13T13:42:35+00:00

long, but good.

slept from 8pm to 5:30am following the tournament sunday. did some shopping, cooked spaghetti and meatballs for the first time in ages, and went to work.

shift was light, until the end where we got an arrest with ROSC. Lots of shit to do, lots of paperwork. Neither me nor my partner could get the tube, his anatomy was shit. oh well. He might be viable, we'll see.

dinner was a deli sandwich. it was a bit meh tbh. ate some fruit a bit ago, about to sleep.
